Geography

History
[edit]The first written mention of Staňkovice is from 1225, whe the village was bought by Abbot Adamus Bertold. From the 13th century, the village was owned by the Strahov Monastery, but the monastery often rented it to various burghers of Žatec. During the Hussite Wars (1419–1434), Staňkovice was acquired by the town of Žatec. In 1547–1594, it belonged to the Líčkov estate, but then it returned to the town of Žatec. As a result of the Bohemian Revolt, properties of Žatec were confiscated and Staňkovice became part of the Líčkov estate again, owned by Estera Juliána Hrzánová of Harasov and her husband Jaroslav of Hazmburk.[4]
